dear tiger tooth boy

01

Beijing in April is sunny and catkins are flying.

Jiang Ning wore a medical mask, a must-have fashion item for Beijing residents, and rode a bicycle, turning into the gate of a university from the busy street.

This is the best art higher education institution in China. The campus covers a small area, but the "allocation" of handsome men and women per square meter may be the most among universities in the country.

Jiang Ning had just finished more than ten hours of night play, and rushed back to school exhausted.She is about to enter her senior year, and she has basically completed her school credits. Recently, she has been busy running around in various production groups in Beijing, looking for performance opportunities.

Before returning to the dormitory, Jiang Ning first received a cross-border courier.Ding Caijing still asks his assistant to send Jiang Ning holiday gifts from time to time, but there are no toys inside, but some light and luxurious jewelry.Jiang Ning never wears it, but always puts it away carefully.

And after receiving gifts in the past two years, she began to respond to Ding Caijing.

I usually write emails without looking up, and the reply is very simple: "I have received the gift, I like it very much. Thank you. Take care of yourself. Jiang Ning." But this is enough to comfort Ding Caijing.

Such a change started with a piece of entertainment gossip news, that is, the news that Kim Jaejoong's biological father went to court to sue for identification.

Jin Zaizhong's generosity to his biological parents who abandoned him made Jiang Ning fall into deep thought.

The next time she received a gift, she sent Ding Caijing the first thank you email.

When Jiang Ning saw Jin Jaejoong saying "I have two pairs of parents, so I get double the care", she suddenly felt that her "hate" or "rejection" towards Ding Caijing was too cumbersome and heavy.

There is unforgivability in life.However, if you entangle too much with not forgiving, just don't let yourself go.

After returning to China, it is still not easy to completely "block" TVXQ's news.The Korean wave is the right way, and if you don't pay attention, you can bump into a huge poster of five.When I turn on the computer, the bottom right corner often pops up the news that TVXQ got various first place in Japan, the news that TVXQ is going to hold a concert in China, the report of TVXQ’s "grand occasion" at the airport when it returns to China...

At first, Jiang Ning could only pretend to ignore them. Every time she saw their news, she immediately closed the page as if she had encountered a computer virus.But helplessly, one of Jiang Ning's college roommates is a fanatical fairy queen. Except for sleeping time, whenever Jiang Ning stays in the dormitory, she can hear her "TVXQ broadcasting news".

"Ah, the oppas are going to Thailand. Wow, the airport picture is awesome!"

"I won the first place in Inkigayo again! Wuli Dongshen is really the best!"

After listening too much, Jiang Ning became "numb".

As luck would have it, they turned out well, even better than she had expected.

Jiang Ning would occasionally be in a daze for no reason. Sitting in the classroom and looking at the blue sky outside the window, Jiang Ning would also inexplicably think that at that time, she also sat in the classroom in Gwangju and looked out the window in a daze.

But outside the classroom door, the boy who came to look for her was no longer seen.

As long as they live well and he lives well...that's enough.

She felt that she could already smile and bless her from afar.

The name "Yunho" is no longer a taboo that makes her heart ache when she hears it.Occasionally, she even looks forward to the "news broadcast" from her roommate Xiaoyou.

Jiang Ning knew about Jin Zaizhong's life experience lawsuit from Xiaoyou.

Pushing open the door and entering the dormitory, the other two roommates were lying on the bed watching a drama, while Xiao You was showing TVXQ's variety show in public.

"Ah, I'll put on the earphones right away." Seeing Jiang Ning enter the room, Xiao You immediately started looking for earphones.Jiang Ning is usually very kind, but for some reason, she just can't stand her showing Korean variety shows, no matter how low she turns the volume.

Jiang Ning didn't speak, put the courier on her desk, and started to clean up the flying catkins on her body.The girl on the upper bunk poked her head out: "The catkins are flying around again?"

Jiang Ning smiled helplessly: "Yes. It looks like cotton is piled on the ground."

The upper bunk sighed: "Oh, I really miss the spring in my hometown. There have never been so many annoying catkins. Hey, Jiang Ning, does this annoying thing float in spring in your hometown?"

Jiang Ning was taken aback by the question: "Hometown?"

The first thing that flashed in her mind was not the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, but Seoul.

Oh, it's not called Seoul anymore, it's called Seoul.

The distance from Beijing to Seoul is not even as far as Beijing to Jiang Ning's real hometown.

The upper bunk didn't care much about Jiang Ning's answer, but stared at the courier in Jiang Ning's hand: "Ah, is your boyfriend sending you something again?"

"no."

"Wow, did your boyfriend send you a gift again?" Xiaoyou also left the variety show and came over, "The love in a foreign country is still so sweet, I'm so envious. In the past three years, I have been watching you receive and receive couriers who don't shop online all the time." , I'm really jealous."

The roommates were talking about Cho Seung-bin.Zhao Chengbin still continues to study in the United States, but whenever there is a vacation, he will go to China tirelessly, and sometimes even stay in Beijing for less than ten hours before flying back.

Jiang Ning couldn't persuade her.I also once made up my mind to not see him at all, but that guy was stuck downstairs in his dormitory, holding a tweeter and preparing to call the building.Jiang Ning had no choice but to hurry downstairs to meet him before it became the news of the whole school.

Traveling thousands of miles and across the sea, I just want to have a meal with her.Facing the guy who smiled like a fool when he saw her go downstairs, what else could Jiang Ning say?

It is even more "scaring" for unscrupulous people to chase after others seriously. The existence of Zhao Chengbin makes Jiang Ning feel pressured.But every time he came and went in a hurry, and only talked about the recent situation, Jiang Ning wanted to reject him, but he didn't have a chance to speak.

Fortunately, it was far enough away, so let's not worry about it for the time being.Jiang Ning knew that she was selfish in thinking like this, but she had been busy running for her own future, and she really couldn't spare the energy to deal with things that "could be postponed for a while".

And Zhao Chengbin's "showdown" finally made her unable to procrastinate any longer.

02

When the news of TVXQ's disintegration broke out, Jiang Ning was being "closed" in Hengdian for a costume drama.

This is the first important role she has received. The younger sister who plays the male lead is equivalent to the third female lead. Jiang Ning cherishes it very much.

In order to make herself more involved in the role, Jiang Ning almost slept with the script in her arms. The script was colorfully painted with colored markers, and the lines were memorized by heart.Jiang Ning didn't like surfing the Internet very much, and since she was immersed in the role, she didn't care about the gossip on the Internet.After finishing her part, she didn't play with her mobile phone like other people, but leaned next to the monitor and studied the performances of her predecessors seriously.Everyone on the set likes this fledgling, but talented, studious, and polite little girl.The assistant director who was in charge of selecting the actors had even begun to discuss with her half-seriously the cooperation of "the next play".

The filming took eight months, and Jiang Ning kept going back and forth between the set and school.By the time the filming was over, there were only two months left before graduation.Jiang Ning hurried back to school, preparing for the graduation drama.

Zhao Chengbin flew over to look for Jiang Ning again, but this time he was not in a hurry.He has graduated a year ago.Relying on Zhao's father recovering well, Zhao Chengbin went out to play all over the world again during Jiang Ning's busy filming year.

The two met at a snack bar next to the school as usual.Every time Zhao Chengbin comes to Beijing, he is particularly willing to follow Jiang Ning to eat in various street shops where locals go.But he hasn't been to the must-see attractions for tourists.

Zhao's business extended to the Chinese market a few years ago.Zhao Chengbin returned to Beijing to take charge of related business in North China.

"So, you want to live in China for a long time?" Jiang Ning picked up the last donkey and rolled, with a little surprise in her tone, "Don't you need to be in the headquarters in South Korea?"

"And my dad. He's alive and kicking now." Zhao Chengbin said, "Not to mention Zhao Enfei."

Jiang Ning couldn't help laughing when she thought of Zhao's father's serious face, which didn't match what Zhao Chengbin said was "live and kick".

Zhao Chengbin looked at Jiang Ning's smile, and suddenly said seriously: "You should know why I came to China."

Jiang Ning stopped smiling.She looked away and rolled the donkey on the chopsticks into her mouth.

Zhao Chengbin kept staring at Jiang Ning intently, and took out a ring box from his pocket, and put it gently on the table.

Jiang Ning looked at Zhao Chengbin in disbelief, and was almost frightened: "You..."

Of course, Jiang Ning's reaction would not be "surprised", but Zhao Chengbin quickly suppressed the bitterness in his smile, and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't get excited, I didn't want you to become my family business so soon. The legal heir. Don't think too beautifully."

Jiang Ning couldn't laugh at this blunt joke.Jiang Ning felt that she was really selfish and cruel to Zhao Chengbin.

Zhao Chengbin took a deep breath and said slowly: "I just want you to think about whether you can try to be my girlfriend."

"I……"

"Don't rush to say you can't." Zhao Chengbin hurriedly interrupted Jiang Ning, with a heart-wrenching begging in his eyes, "I didn't come to force you to agree. Although this really embarrasses you... I also know you completely Who is thinking in my heart. But, Jiang Ning, it has been four years...can you try to look forward?"

"I have." Jiang Ning said in a low voice, "I've been moving forward. Now, I'm not so afraid to talk about "who" - after all, the world is full of their news, I can't hide... But... ..."

"Don't say but..." Zhao Chengbin's hand suddenly covered Jiang Ning's.Jiang Ning was startled, and subconsciously wanted to pull out her hand, but Zhao Chengbin held it tightly instead.In a panic, Jiang Ning raised her eyes to look at Zhao Chengbin, but she met Zhao Chengbin's sad eyes.

Jiang Ning was stunned.

What kind of eyes are those...

In the past few years, she owed him too much.

She is not wavering - after all, the person she once firmly wanted to protect and be with is now in two worlds with her.There is nothing to be firm in the first place, and of course there is no wavering.

She just feels bad.I feel sorry for the sad eyes in front of me like a sinking boat.

The hand held by Zhao Chengbin gradually relaxed.

A flame of hope flashed in Zhao Chengbin's eyes. Jiang Ning sighed and smiled at him as if looking at a stubborn little boy.

Just at this time, an entertainment news was broadcast on the TV in the snack bar.

"The following is a piece of news from South Korea. The super-popular Asian group TVXQ Kim Jaejoong, Kim Junsu, and Park Yoochun have just concluded their lawsuit against SM's inhumane contracts. The tangle has made all fans feel heartbroken. However, this The influence of the time has not stopped here. Recently, South Korean reporters have frequently photographed the swollen and fat image of the former team leader Zheng Yunhao. Suffering from depression, taking antidepressants and losing shape..."

Jiang Ning's smile froze.She gently pulled her hand out of Zhao Chengbin's.

Zhao Chengbin didn't shake Jiang Ning's hand again.

That he had a bad time.So she would never allow herself to "have a good time" here.

The flame jumping in Zhao Chengbin's eyes was completely extinguished.
